Who is the Somali with the Greatest Impact on Somali History

[AbdiWahab252]

Who do you think is/has been the Somali with the Greatest Impact on Somali history ? You can vote for infamous/benevolent characters.

[Sir-Luggoyo]

Who is Siyaad Maxamed? The third one. Never heard of that dude.

From what i've read, Barre appears to be the one to have had the longest, most far reaching effect on the Somali political and historical landscape.

[Dhaga Bacayl]

Your list is bias. If you say Somalia I’m cool with but when you say Somali history you talking about the whole Somali race

[AbdiWahab252]

Dhaga .. the whole Somali race.

Lugooyo// i meant to say the Sayiid Mohamed Abdulle Xasan

Than you need to revise your list.

Here some of them just incase..

Omar Arte put your asz on the map and for some crazy reason sold the idea of Somali being Arab to the Arab world. Cigaal is the other one, arguably the best politician of Somali History. Muse Galal wrote Somali language. Gahayr translated most of science books from English to Somali. He was so influential The Somali National University was named after him. The SNM Hero. Yes there was no warlord like Aydeed or Cabdilahi Yusuf but they changed the Geography of Somalia permanently.

the sayid muxamed cabdulla hassan.

waraa abdiwahab stop confusing everyone here by writing the sayid name wrongly. you know he will garner the most votes hence the writing of his wrongly. Alla hawiyuhu cuqdad badanaa!!!

[AbdiWahab252]

muslim-man... The Sayiid loved my qabiil, the Sacad, more than most Daroods clans especially the Majeerten.

[muslim-man]

the most beloved ppl to the sayid were his maternal people the dhulbahante.

sacad iyo sayidka maxaa isu geeye? were they his firewood fetchers?

FOR ME IS ABDI BILLE ABDI and iam not kidding you

[QansaGabeyle]

I vote for Caydid. His impact may not have been a good one but he is the reason why I am in America.

Dhaga, that's a good point you put forth, about Galal being the most influential, as the language will have the most long term positive impact on Somalia. And over time, history will bear this out.
